E: Unable to lock the list directory




HELP ME PLZ

Right now the Ubuntu backports server is down. Your first problem will fix itself in a few days. Try running 'sudo apt-get update' to fix the second problem. Running apt-get update without sudo will not work since apt-get needs to run with root priviledges.

Herm...

I have this same problem. But when I try to update my apt-get, I get this:

Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/dists/stable/Release Unable to find expected entry main/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

So, I can't do apt-get for anything else, and apt-get won't update....any help would be awesome.

Zensunni, your issue is that the debian-marillat repository doesn't have amd64 packages in the testing and stable repositories.

When ever i update with apt-get update i get this problem:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the list directory
I was having this very same problem this morning. It turned out that the System Notifier was busy checking for updates and had a lock on the apt package list while it worked.

[hakimu]

to get rid of the permission problem run apt-get update as root, or simply

sudo apt-get update

if you get the other errors, probebly is somthing wrong with the proxy setting

export http_proxy="http://proxyIPAddress:ServerPortnumber"

and the you can run sudo apt-get update

Hope it works:cool:
